Approach
From Batizovska or Zlomiskova valley.Both routes have difficulties I UIAA.
Route discription
Route from Batizovska valley takes about 30min.This couloir is a little bit brittle,so you can climb not straight ahead but in right side of the couloir on the rocks. Be careful in winter time.There is normal avalanche danger there.This couloir is easy visible between Končistá massif and Popradský Ľadový štít.
When you reach Sedlo Pod Drukom you will see the ridge in the right side which leads you easily to the summit.In summer you need about 30-45min to reach the top.The ridge is partly exposed and narrow but with stable rocks.In winter you have to calculate even 2 houres,it depends on snow conditions.There is a rocky gap in the middle of the ridge.You have to make a big step or hang on your hands.It can be problematic during winter climbing.
Second possibility
Ascent from Zlomiskova valley to Sedlo pod Drukom takes about 1,45min.Of course everything depends on conditions when it is winter for example.There is normal avalanche risk there.The couloir is steeper than this one from Batizovska valley.There are very brittle rocks on exposed passages in summer time.It could be very unpleasant there even when it is only I UIAA.The rest of the route after reaching the pass Sedlo pod Drukom is the same as in ealier discription.
